Traveling in Style for Mudik Idul Fitri

Hello beauties! It's near the end of Ramadhan already, and just like any other Indonesian moslems do, I will travel back to my hometown (widely known as "mudik").

And aside from the huge luggage that I always bring home, I usually carry one carry-on bag to accompany me on the journey home.

my bag and what's inside

My hometown is in Palembang; the capital city of South Sumatra. I usually fly from Jakarta to Palembang. It takes around 50-60 minutes of flight to reach there.

But usually, the road is jammed everywhere when it's nearly Idul Fitri or during the last week of Ramadhan, so I need to be very well-prepared with it. The waiting time is unlimited, and that's why I'd like to share with you what are my beauty essential for mudik!

My Mudik Beauty Essential

1. Cleansing Sheet

Wet cleansing sheet is my beauty and hygiene savior! In this hot and humid atmosphere, my combination skin desperately needs something to freshen and clean up with. And I bring this Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Sheet everywhere because it can remove my makeup as well. Also, the packaging is considered smaller thus take less space in my bag.

2. Eau Thermal Avène Thermal Spring Water

I've been using this only for around a month but I definitely will repurchase another. It's just, amazing! Usually I will spray this after I cleanse my face with cleansing wipes. 

3. Small Perfume

I always bring travel size or sample size perfume so that I can stay fresh and smell nice without rummaging my makeup pouch.

4. Eye Makeup

I usually bring eyebrow pencil and eyeliner. Just for the sake of quick fix.

5. Lip Products

I'm lip addict! And carrying around only one lipstick will be a sin, so I usually bring 2-3 different lip shade just in case.

5. Hand Cream

Currently in love with L'OCCITANE Pevoine hand cream. It moisturizes my hand while spreading the soft-scented rose fragrance.

6. 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE 

Last, but definitely not least, it's 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE. As you may read in my previous posts, I have minus, so I need contact lenses to live my life (LOL).

I've been trying all of the three variants, from Natural Shine, Vivid Style, to Accent Style. But for this mudik journey, I choose Accent Style because it has the most natural look! Yes, every time I wear Accent Style, no one can tell that I'm using contact lenses.

And you should know why I specifically mention 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE, lovelies. It's because I've been using it for the past 2 months and it never causes me any problem.

I'd like to give you a real experience. So I recently traveled to Tokyo, Japan for a week and during that trip I always wear 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE every single day.

And here's my real picture after using 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE for all day.

AFTER ALMOST 10 HOURS OF WEARING 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE VIVID STYLE

 See? My hair is already messy and oily, and so does my face. But look at my both eyes, it's still clear with no trace of redness or irritation even after using it for nearly all day long.

And yes, if I can wear it without no problem during traveling to other country, why don't I wear it for mudik as well?
